Week 7 Injury Ward

Tony Romo - Romo broke his collarbone on Monday night, and his recovery time ranges from 6 weeks to the rest of the season.  It appears as though most outlets expect him to miss 8 weeks, and if that's the case, the Cowboys will likely toss him on IR.  It should only take another loss or two, so while that might be a couple weeks, Romo is likely finished in 2010.  I'd drop him.  Kitna is a veteran QB who will throw it down the field, so while this certainly doesn't help Austin, Bryant, Williams, and Witten, I don't think it hurts them as bad as it may seem.  Austin is still a WR2, Bryant showed signs of life, and Witten did just fine.  I think the guy this hurts the most is Williams as he finally was getting on the same page as Romo, but it appeared as though Kitna preferred Bryant.

Brett Favre - There seems to be conflict (regarding Favre?  No way...) with exactly what the injury is.  It was commonly believed that he had multiple fractures in his ankle, but now some say it's a glorified sprain.  Despite all of this, he'll likely be a gametime decision.  Unfortunately Minnesota plays late this week, so if you plan on using Favre, you'll have to roster yourself a later starting QB like Josh Freeman to ensure you have a starter.  You can't bench Moss because of his redzone skills, but Harvin will likely suffer if Jackson starts.

Alex Smith - Smith suffered some sort of AC joint injury in his shoulder, and he's almost certainly out in week 8. Nobody knows how severe it is yet, but it's likely that only 2 QB leagues had him rostered anyways.  This will hurt the offense, however, because I think Singletary knew how bad David Carr is when he didn't pull Smith at any point this season.  Frank Gore will probably suffer a bit more, Vernon Davis will suffer a bit, and Crabtree becomes very shaky while Smith is out.

DeAngelo Williams - Williams limped off late, and it's not known how serious his injury is.  Jonathan Stewart might have been dropped in your league, so grab him if he's surprisingly out there.  Williams is nothing more than a RB2 at this point, but Stewart would be a borderline RB1 if he started in a week where a number of good RBs are on bye.
